In May 2021, a team of astronomers made an exceedingly rare discovery: an extremely high-energy cosmic ray beaming from outer space — which confusingly came from nowhere in particular. "When I first discovered this ultra-high-energy cosmic ray, I thought there must have been a mistake, as it showed an energy level unprecedented in the last […]
The Telescope Array Collaboration detected the highest cosmic energy in over 30 years. A Utah telescope intercepted an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray event, only second to the 1991 "Oh-My-God" particle.
Second only to the Oh-My-God particle, the newly dubbed Amaterasu particle deepens the mystery of the origin, propagation and particle physics of rare, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. In 1991, the University of Utah Fly’s Eye experiment detected the highest-energy cosmic ray ever observed. Later d
